Tips for picking the right TV stand for your unique style
TV stands are often a focal point in a family or living room. It is usually one of the larger pieces of furniture in a space and nearly all of the seating is often directed towards being able to see the television. Because of these factors, it makes sense that choosing a TV stand is a thoughtful purchase for your home. A TV stand is often considered a piece of furniture that allows the television to placed on a horizontal surface. With wall mounted televisions becoming an integral part of home design, it is now also a way to mount them vertically or visually anchor the area around a TV. If you are looking to incorporate a stand in your interior, you will want to consider the size of the unit you want, the amount of storage you are looking for, as well as the particular style that speaks to you. A TV cabinet with lots of storage will have a combination of drawers, doors, and shelves to help you organize electronics and visual media. Alternatively, a minimally designed piece will have the simplicity of carrying the weight of the TV and may not include areas for tucking away items. A minimal choice might have a more architectural or sculptural look to it. For some, the functionality of added storage is more important than the overall aesthetics while others find that the style and look take precedence. Different TV stand designs can lend themselves to different types of style. For example, a low profile TV stand might work well in a modern or contemporary room, whereas a solid wood TV stand with classical details might work better for a traditional or transitional space. Alternatively, wood stands with metal details might work for many different design types. One of the most important aspects of choosing a stand is finding one that will fit your TV size and complement the proportions of your room.

A: The height and size of a TV stand can vary. Imagine a large TV on a small stand, it would look visually disproportionate. This is where the visual weight of items really come into play. You want the stand to look like it is a strong base for your television. For the height, try sitting on your sofa and imagining different heights for viewing, trust your eye and pick the height that feels comfortable. For less eye strain, it is best to keep the center of the screen at eye level when sitting.

A: TV stands include large consoles that look like built-in or architectural features in your home, corner units that have a triangular footprint and tuck into the corner of your room, or credenzas that are often longer than they are tall and feature storage below. Some even have a bookcase or shelving look to them.

A: Much like a universal remote, a universal TV stand is one that can accommodate nearly any type of television. This could include flat panel, older tube types, as well as various sizes. It allows you to design your space around your style and choose a stand that works. It is a great option if you know in the future the television you choose might change, but your style or taste will have continuity.

A: Corner TV stands are built to tuck into a corner of your room. If your preference is to not have the television front and center in a room, a corner stand is a great choice. It is also a perfect option for smaller rooms or awkward spaces. It often has a lot of storage for a multi-functional solution.
